ALSA: Avoid using timespec for struct snd_timer_tread
The struct snd_timer_tread will use 'timespec' type variables to record timestamp, which is not year 2038 safe on 32bits system. Since the struct snd_timer_tread is passed through read() rather than ioctl(), and the read syscall has no command number that lets us pick between the 32-bit or 64-bit version of this structure. Thus we introduced one new command SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_TREAD64 and new struct snd_timer_tread64 replacing timespec with s64 type to handle 64bit time_t. That means we will set tu->tread = TREAD_FORMAT_64BIT when user space has a 64bit time_t, then we will copy to user with struct snd_timer_tread64. Otherwise we will use 32bit time_t variables when copying to user. Moreover this patch replaces timespec type with timespec64 type and related y2038 safe APIs.
